On March 7 (last Thursday), I was lucky enough to attend The Walking Dead PaleyFest event at my local theater thanks to the bestest website on the internet, IGN. Today, I was able to see The Big Bang Theory PaleyFest event at the theater. I had a blast with The Walking Dead and was worried Big Bang Theory couldn't match the awesomeness of that event. While it's dumb to say the Walking Dead was "better," I still had a lot of fun with The Big Bang Theory event and it gave me more respect for the show and the people behind it.

Similar to my Walking Dead experience, I handed them the pass, got my snacks, was "greeted" by ten other Big Bang Theory fans, and waited for the presentation to begin. Here is what went down:

WHAT HAPPENED AT THE EVENT?

The same intro from the Walking Dead event played and then a PaleyFest woman came out and introduced our moderator, Pauley Perrette (NCIS). She said how she's a huge fan of The Big Bang Theory and went on to show us a montage of clips from Season 6 including a brand new clip from tomorrow's episode (which looks rather interesting if I say so myself).

Once again, I had a very good time. The clip that was shown at the beginning had most of Season 6's best moments. Seeing The Big Bang Theory on the big screen was pretty cool although it didn't benefit from the big picture and sound like The Walking Dead did. Finally, the clip that was shown from tomorrow's episode must be talked about. I've been criticizing The Big Bang Theory lately for doing nothing with their characters but lately they've been doing something with them. Tomorrow's episode involves us learning a bit more about Howard which I'm actually looking forward to and am hopeful the outcome will be great.

The moderator, Pauley, did a decent job. Her questions were good (although 90% of them were Twitter questions that people could send in as this was a live event) and she seemed to know what she was talking about (she did say she was a fan but you can't trust anybody these days). Unfortunately, she didn't add much to the panel. Chris Hardwick had character and made it fun to listen to him. Pauley didn't really do that but that doesn't mean she did a bad job. Like I said, she did a decent job.

The cast and crew on the other hand were great. They all had great chemistry with each other and gave very solid answers. We got lots of fun stories from the set and I even got a few decent laughs out of the event. The only thing I felt was missing was a real sense of where the show is going. We got Season 7 on the way and I was hoping we would get a couple of questions and answers about where the show is going and what they could do.

Once again, I had a very fun time. The cast and crew were fun to listen to and I'm actually excited to see the next few episodes of the show. I have my little dislikes about the event but none of them really hampered the experience. I still had a great time and if you're a fan of Big Bang or Walking Dead and they have these events next year, check them out. I hope more of these happen next year as I wouldn't mind seeing a Community one assuming that show lasts another season or maybe a S.H.I.E.L.D. one. Thank you once again to IGN for hooking me up with these passes, you make me proud to be an All-Star.

Lately, I've noticed that most of my reviews have been very positive. I gave one movie a 6, another a 7, and all the rest are above an 8. I noticed that I haven't given a negative review. Don't get me wrong, I wish all movies were a perfect 10, but I don't want to come off as easily impressed. Some people have disagreed with my reviews (and I strongly encourage you to speak your mind in the comments) but I have this sick feeling that some people are going to ignore me as a critic because of my positive reviews. The reasoning for my positive reviews is that I have no money. I'm 16 years old and don't have a penny to my name. I'm about to start my Junior year in High School and don't even have a job. I'm very limited to the movies that I can see, and because of this I only beg my parents for money for movies that I really want to see (turns out most of the big movies of the year have been awesome).

Even with that, I'm still limited. I really want to see The Expendables 2 but I not only need the money but also for my Dad to come with me since I'm underage. My Dad likes movies and has been with me to many R-rated movies, such as Prometheus and Ted (we only saw The Dictator because it was free). Unfortunately, he wasn't a huge fan of the first Expendables movie (his biggest problem was the story like that was the reason he saw the movie) so getting him to see The Expendables 2 was a long shot. It was a possibility we would see it today but I got official confirmation that he's out. After thinking about it, I needed to do something different to put out more and more content on this blog. That's when I got the idea for rental reviews.

Since I have no money and can't even see an R-rated movie, the best option is to rent newly released movies and review them. This time, I'm seeing everything. I wish I could see every movie that comes out, but obviously that's not an option. Renting them gives me that chance. I'm going to rent a movie every week and review it. They will be in the same style as my other reviews with the biggest difference being the title:

Rental Reviews: insert movie title here

This solves every problem I have right now. I get to put out more reviews. I get to see R-rated movies. Renting movies are cheap. Finally, the best part, I get to see some crappy movies and trash them on this blog. Finally giving bad reviews. As the years go on, more reviews will be put up on the blog due to eventually getting a job (hopefully at IGN!) and reaching 17 years old to see R-rated movies. As of right now, I feel this is the best option.

What do you guys think? Good idea, bad idea? Comment below and let me know.
